the context was to get the list of queries from clicking a button. Because I was getting a list of objects, I did not think creating another query was a good way to keep the database clean or to see a query name of a query to list the queries

I agree with Darrell since the SQL isn't an action query. If there was some context provided regarding the intention of the query we could help.

I don't feel comfortable using sql as a variable. It seems like it would be a reserved word.

DoCmd.RunSQL is for action queries and DDL.
I'm not sure what he is trying to do with the returned rows but I believe he needs to use OpenRecordset.

Jim-
It's a mystery. I get the same error when I try your code in Northwind 2007.
Sub TestSQL()
Dim SQL As String
SQL = "SELECT MSysObjects.Name FROM MsysObjects WHERE (Left$([Name],1)<>""~"") AND (MSysObjects.Type)=5 ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;"
Debug.Print SQL
DoCmd.RunSQL SQL
End Sub
But if I copy and paste the SQL resulting from the Debug into the SQL view of a new query, it works!
This works:
Sub TestSQL()
Dim SQL As String
Dim db As DAO.Database, qd As DAO.QueryDef
SQL = "SELECT MSysObjects.Name FROM MsysObjects WHERE (Left$([Name],1)<>""~"") AND (MSysObjects.Type)=5 ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;"
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qd = db.CreateQueryDef("zTestQuery", SQL)
DoCmd.OpenQuery "zTestQuery"
CurrentDb.QueryDefs.Delete "zTestQuery"
End Sub

It isn't the tilde, it' the quotation marks inside the string. In order to use quotation marks inside the string, you must double them like so: ""~"" Or you could use the apostrophe '~'.
What is happening is the SQL engine thinks the quotation mark before the tilde is terminating the string.

Hello all,
I am trying to run a sql statement below and I am getting a syntax error on the "~" part of the statement. Is there are problem with "~" in vba?
Dim QSQL As String
SQL = "SELECT MSysObjects.Name FROM MsysObjects WHERE (Left$([Name],1)<>"~") AND (MSysObjects.Type)=5 ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;"
DoCmd.RunSQL QSQL
Thank You for your help.
